The first question anyone asks a child about a figure is what it is called. These free printable worksheets draw a shape and offer four names to circle — no measuring, no arithmetic, just the word.
If they get stuck
The answer key prints on a separate page.
Four words under each figure, one of them right, and the other three drawn from the same set. That matters more than it sounds: a hexagon offered against “rhombus, trapezoid, kite” can be answered by counting to six without reading the words at all, and a sheet that can be finished that way has taught nothing. The distractors here are always shapes a child could genuinely mistake the figure for.
The names are alphabetical, so where the right one sits tells you nothing. A sheet whose answer is always first is answerable with the page face down, and children find that pattern long before an adult notices it is there.
